Tony Boy

Tony Boy, born Antonio Hueber on September 26, 1999, in Padua, Italy, has emerged as one of the most compelling voices in modern Italian hip-hop. Influenced early on by his older brother and a love for pop-punk, he transitioned into rap during his teenage years, starting to write songs at just 15. His raw lyricism and melodic sensibilities were evident from the beginning, with early projects like Non hai mai Mixtape and Non c’è futuro (2019), the latter produced entirely by Wairaki, hinting at the talent to come.

In 2020, Tony dropped Going Hard, the first in a trilogy of mixtapes that carved out his signature style—melodic trap with emotional depth, drawing inspiration from artists like Polo G and Lil Durk. Collaborations with fellow rising talents like Touché, Slings, and Jamil helped broaden his reach. Going Hard 2 followed in 2021, solidifying his reputation as a powerful voice in Italy’s underground rap scene.

His first full-length album, Umile (2023), marked a turning point. Featuring names like Shiva, Vale Pain, Frah Quintale, and Kid Yugi, the album struck a chord with fans and critics alike, earning platinum status and showcasing Tony’s growth as both a writer and performer. Its deluxe edition added five more tracks and expanded his sonic range even further.

In 2024, he returned with Nostalgia (export), a reflective, genre-blending project that topped the Italian charts and went gold. Later that year, he completed the trilogy with Going Hard 3, featuring heavy-hitters like Capo Plaza, Anna, and Nardo Wick.

With honest lyrics and atmospheric beats, Tony Boy continues to evolve while staying true to the emotion and authenticity that first set him apart.
